I’m a big fan of spy stories, especially ones that keep the plot ticking right along. That being the case, I happened upon this one at a writers’ event where I was promoting my books as well.
Like me, Dick Totino lives in the coastal region of North Carolina and weaves his magic there.
I happened to be selling my books at an author event he was participating in. As is often the case at these events, we exchanged books. I do hope he liked mine as well as I liked his.
The book is titled The Salesman, but the main character, John Anderson, is much more than a world-class salesman of industrial chemicals. That’s just his so-called day job. And it gives him good cover for his second job of being a “fixer/spy” for the U.S. government.
But he is growing weary of both jobs and hoping to retire in a special cabin near good friends. In the meantime, he has to find his last victim and figure out how to kill the person without getting caught. Not an easy task. Especially since his boss might be involved in trying to kill John’s target. So who is the good guy here and who is the bad guy. Another puzzle for John to put together.
Along the way, he must save his friends and the woman he loves, and catch the other people who are doing bad things. John Anderson is a master of disguise so don’t expect to recognize him on the street. He may actually not present as a man. Or as a young man. And wear gloves when you meet him.
The book will keep you reading, so plan on going to work late the next day.
